Seoul Music Photo: For two simple reasons, my photography expeditions in Seoul generally begin at Seoul City Hall. For starters, I really don't know much else about Seoul because I'm too cheap to buy I don't have access to a guidebook. Secondly, it's apparent, there are myriad festivals and happenings on the lawn in front of city hall, including what seem like daily musical performances.
